Program transcript

Hello, I’m Alicia Ireland, and you’re listening to WPpodcast, bringing the weekly news from the WordPress Community.

In this episode, you’ll find the information from February 23 to March 1, 2026.

Developer documentation on WordPress.org has been restored after a period in which part of the content was not properly available. Essentially, from WordPress 6.4 through WordPress 6.9.1, which means more than two years without current documentation.

The team has been working to restore access to key references, guides, and technical resources used daily by plugin, theme, and core developers, ensuring that URLs work again and that the content is properly indexed and navigable as expected.

Beyond restoring the content, technical aspects related to infrastructure and deployment were reviewed to prevent similar situations in the future, because the goal was not only to bring the content back, but to strengthen the stability and reliability of the system that supports the documentation, given that it is a critical resource for the ecosystem.

With Gutenberg 22.6 we now have a fairly stable release, with all the new features from recent months available and out of their experimental phase. Among them are visual revisions for content, the Icon block, navigation overlay, client side media processing, real time collaboration, and gallery navigation with lightbox.

And WordPress 7.0 Beta 2 is now available with an AI Connectors screen inside Settings, already with several open tickets because it does not seem to be working correctly for everyone. It is a first iteration that should be refined before the first release candidate.

And finally, this podcast is distributed under a Creative Commons license as a derivative version of the podcast in Spanish; you can find all the links for more information, and the podcast in other languages, at WPpodcast .org.

Thanks for listening, and until the next episode!
